PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. 



This little work was prepared for my own use 
as a labor-saver, and as a receptacle for clinical 
observations, and for gleanings from others and 
from the periodicals. 

It has been the work of odd moments and little 
remnants of time, redeemed from busy days. 

Even the young physician, of a single sum- 
mer's experience, must have felt the want of such 
a work, particularly when dealing with the fre- 
quently occurring and obstinate diarrhoeas of in- 
fants. It was the difficulty of treating these that 
first awakened the desire to possess in one little 
work all that was known of our Materia Medica 
as applied to loose evacuations of the bowels. 

It has not been intended to include every rem 
edy that has been known to purge, but only every 
remedy of which enough is known, either of its 
stools, or conditions, or concomitants, to distin- 
guish it from any other remedy. 

But some may inquire, Why should diseases of 
the bowels be honored above others by a special 
monograph ? 

Those who have Boenninghausen on Cough, on 
Fever, and on Headache, will not ask this ques- 
tion, but will desire that the work go on until we 



4 PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. 

possess such special aids in the treatment of all 
affections that most tax the bus}^ practitioner. 

The present work is now printed because col- 
leagues, who had seen it, desired to possess a 
cop3' — one going so far as to copy it himself, — 
because Mr. Tafel, who had seen it, desired to 
print it, and because the work had already repaid 
me for the time and labor it cost in the same coin, 
and I was therefore happy to believe that it would 
be of like use to others. The clinical test will be 
found to disclose many valuable S3^mptoms not to 
be met with elsewhere, and, alas, doubtless, many 
errors. 

The carefully collated experience of ten active 
years, which it contains, would indeed be better 
if they w^ere twenty or thirtj^ but perhaps the 
Lord in his goodness will permit this to be added 
also. 

It w^ould be a grateful task to indicate through- 
out the work the sources from which m.any valu- 
able S3^mptoms were drawn , but this w^ould detract 
from its practical character as a work of reference.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE TO THE 
. SECOND EDITION. 



Thk material for a new edition of this little 
work has been collected ever since the first was 
published, and such an edition has long ^ been 
called for, but I do not think it would have ever 
seen the light had I not persuaded my friend and 
successor, Dr. W. T. lyaird, late of Watertown, 
N. Y. , to undertake its preparation for the press. 
He has also added much from his own collection 
of material, and to him is due the entire remodel- 
ling of the Repertory, which, in the first edition, 
was quite defective. 

My former partner, Dr. T. M. Dillingham, had 
kindly made a partial revision of the work, but 
went abroad before its completion. 

It may be necessary to add, by way of personal 
explanation, that my "specialty" lies in quite 
another direction than "Diarrhoea" or Materia 
Medica, and it is only as a lover of sound thera- 
peutics that I have taken up these subjects. 

Dr. Ad. lyippe has contributed two annotated 
copies and many suggestions, and I wish to tender 
my thanks to him and to all who have added any 
observations to its pages, as well, also, to the 



6 author's prbface to second edition. 

great numbers in the profession who have so 
kindly and heartily commended the book. To 
me its only merit is its practical application of the 
principles of Hahnemann, and I am rejoiced, 
therefore, that so many still hold firmly to those 
principles and seek to be guided by them. * 



EDITOR'S PREFACE. 



In the revision of a monograph like the present 
work, after the lapse of twelve years, many new 
remedies demand recognition. These may be 
conveniently divdded into four clases. 

In the first, we place those which have been 
thoroughly proved and repeatedly verified in 
practice. 

The second consists of drugs, which have also 
been well proved, but whose symptoms, as yet, 
lack clinical confirmation. 

The third embraces the medicines of which we 
possess only fragmentary and imperfect patho- 
geneses. These may be styled ' ' the suggestive 
remedies," and include such drugs as Coto Barky 
Gent, lut.y Geran.y Gnaph., Hura, CEnothera^ 
Paullhiia^ etc. 

The fourth division contains those remedies 
whose indications are derived solely ab us in 
morbis. 

Of the first and second classes every remedy is 
plainly entitled to admission, "of which enough 
is known, either of its stools, or conditions, or 
concomitants, to distinguish it from any other 
remedy." 

7 



8 editor's preface. 

Many of the drugs in the third class are doubt- 
less valuable, and will prove of great ser\nce when 
further provings, experience and observation have 
developed their characteristic indications. Some 
of them have already been successfully used in 
practice. Unfortunately, however, at the present 
time the sj^mptoms of the majority of these reme- 
dies are too few and too uncertain to render their- 
selection easy or to entitle them to a place in a 
work which is intended to be purely practical. 

Remedies of the fourth class — those having no 
basis except empiricism — must be viewed with 
distrust and received with great caution. 

In the second edition the same general plan has 
been followed as in the first, with the exception 
that the important sjmiptoms are italicized, while 
those which are especially characteristic are 
printed in black type. 

The term ' ' cholera infantum ' ' has been re- 
tained in many cases, which, according to strict 
patholog}^ would be more properly designated 
as entero- colitis and gastro-enteric catarrh. Al- 
though this use of the term is not defensible from 
a scientific standpoint, it is sanctioned to such an 
extent by common usage .that it has been thought 
inexpedient to make any change. 

The present edition contains over loo pages 
more than the first. Thirty- two new remedies 
have been added, and the old ones thoroughl}^ re- 
vised, and, in some instances, entirel}^ rewritten. 

Numerous clinical S3^mptoms have been incorpo- 



editor's prkfack. 9 

rated with the text, but only those whose genuine- 
ness is attested by trustworthy observers or which 
the writer has frequently verified in his own prac- 
tice. Many others have been rejected on the 
ground of insufficient evidence. 

The writer lays no claim to originality in the 
additions he has made to this work. His task 
has been mainly one of compilation. He has 
gleaned, from our literature all that he deemed 
valuable, and has conscientiously endeavored to 
make the book as accurate and complete as possi- 
ble; 37et none can be more painfully aware of the 
many imperfections and errors of omission w^hich 
it must necessarily contain. It is especially to be 
regretted, in this connection, that the request for 
contributions, printed in our journals, has met 
with such meagre responses from the profession; 
for it is only by unity of effort that we can hope 
to attain the best results. 

The writer would gratefully acknowledge his 
indebtedness to Drs. W. P. Wesselhoeft and Ad. 
Lippe for valuable notes and suggestions; to 
Prof. E. A. Farrington for important informa- 
tion, and also for his kind permission to make 
free use of very complete notes of his lectures on 
Materia Medica; and to Dr. F. F. I^aird for as- 
sistance in preparing the manuscript.

PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION, 



This book has been most thorough.!}- revised, 
with the earnest purpose of making it as nearly 
complete as possible. Four remedies of little 
importance have been omitted, viz. : Cactus^ 
Euphorb., Opuntia and Castoreum, and five of 
much value have been added, viz.: Acetic acid, 
Crotalus, Angustiira, Carbolic acid 2i^^ Valeriana. 

The more closeh' one follows the principles 
discovered b}' Hahnemann the more priceless ap- 
pears the legac}' which he has left us. We have 
no occasion to join in the pursuit of new, but 
speedilj' discarded drugs, lauded first as specifics, 
then thrown over for their failures and harmful 
effects. We are able at once, by proving and 
obser\'ation , to righth* estimate and use the new 
as well as the old remedies, and the knowledge 
thus acquired will be just as valuable centuries 
hence as now, and so we work on with the 
solemn joy of those whose work will never cease 
to bless mankind while there remain an}- sick to 
be healed. 

Dr. Samuel A. Kimball, author of the Mono- 
graph on Gonorrhoea, has given faithful and most 
valuable assistance in this revision, and Drs. J.

PREFACE TO FOURTH EDITION. 



Thk most that can be said as a preface to a 
fourth edition, is that a thorough revision, and re- 
revision, and a renewed comparison with all the 
Materia Medica now available, reveals but few 
changes to make, and no remedies to add or to 
omit. 

Ai,i.kn's Symptom Rbgistbr gives four hun- 
dred and twenty-five remedies as having diar- 
rhoea, and Knkrr's Repertory of the Guid- 
ing Symptoms a much smaller list, but none of 
them, not already . included in this book, are 
suited for a place in it, either because the prov- 
ing is indefinite, or because the diarrhoea is simply 
accessory to a larger and more important group 
of symptoms (as in Diadema in Intermittent 
fever, or Asteria rube7is in Epileps}^, or Arum 
triphyllum in Typhoid or Scarlet fever) and is 
not particularly well defined in itself. It would 
seem, therefore, that this little work is now as 
complete as it can well be made, for at least some 
time to come. 

Homoeopathy is not making that kind of ' ' pro- 
gress ' ' that renders a whole medical library

INTRODUCTION. 



CHARACTER AND OBJECT OF THE 
WORK. 

This work is intended to apply to all loose 
evacuations of the bowels, and to describe them, 
their aggravations and ameliorations, with their 
immediate accompaniments and general accom- 
panying symptoms. 

The character of the stool is used as an ad- 
jective, and after it the *' stool " is always to be 
understood. The semicolon stands for it. 

Under the head of aggravations and ameliora- 
tions those influences are given which affect the 
stool, and also those which act as excited causes 
of the attack. When referring to other symptoms, 
they will be found indicated in parentheses. 

The concomitants of the stool have been studied 
and observed with much care. 

The general accompaniments include all the 
symptoms that occur during the attack. 

Under each of the best known remedies some 
symptoms will be found italicized. These, it will 
be understood, are the symptoms which have been 
most frequently observed, and which also serve to 
most sharply distinguish that remedy from others. 
The more of these emphasized symptoms we have 
1.5 



1 6 INTRODUCTION . 

under any one remedy the easier the selection. 
The sooner we are able by careful observation to 
emphasize symptoms under all our remedies, the 
more we shall perfect our art. It should be the 
self-appointed task of every Homoeopathic physi- 
cian to confirm, and define, and add to the symp- 
toms of all our remedies, but more especially of 
those that are but little known. Manj' of that 
class will be found in this book, some of which 
have many sj^mptoms of clear and distinctive 
character, derived from provings, but whose 
relative and positive value awaits clinical deter- 
mination. If those who use this book will add 
the fruits of their obser\^ations by underlining 
and wTi ting-in S3'mptoms, they will be gladl}^ in- 
corporated in a future edition, should any be re- 
quired. 

The remarks, which follow nearly every rem- 
ed}', should be understood as embodying only 
the personal opinions of the writer, whether con- 
firming or contradicting what may have been pub- 
lished by others. It is hoped that they may 
sometimes aid in the selection of the remedy, but 
they are of wholly subordinate authorit}' to the 
text. 

THE SELECTION OF THE REMEDY. 

All who subscribe to the law of similars agree 
that the problem in each case is to find a remedy 
whose symptoms are most closely similar to the 
case in hand. This problem finds a somewhat 



INTRODUCTION. 1 7 

different solution, however, in different classes of 
mind. 

One class thinks the solution is found in a 
similitude to the pathological state. If able to 
diagnose hypersemia, hypersesthesia, ulceration, 
plastic exudation, atony, atrophy, hypertrophy, 
and so on through the catalogue, this seems to 
them sufficient. They have only then to diag- 
nose a remedy producing a similar state. This 
has a great fascination for some excellent minds, 
because it seems to utilize the splendid develop- 
ments of Allopathy in this direction, and connect 
them directly with therapeutics. 

Another, and growing class, believes that 
those who stop here will never comprehend the 
true genius of Homoeopathy. The demand for 
exactness, minuteness and delicacy of observation 
in all branches of science was never greater. The 
same is true of Homoeopathic Therapeutics. 
Those who are ardently following in this direc- 
tion soon discover that the selection of the remedy 
requires, so to speak, two similars, viz.: one cor- 
responding to the general symptoms, or those 
w^hich bring it into relation to the pathological 
state to be treated, and one corresponding to the 
special and characteristic symptoms, or those 
which bring it into relation with the individual 
case to be treated. 

To illustrate: a patient has stools consisting 
of bloody mucus, small and frequent, with 
tenesmus. We diagnose dysentery; hyper- 

2 



lo INTRODUCTION. 

aemia and inflammation of the mucous mem- 
brane of the colon, with exudation of blood 
and secretion of mucus. Fort3^-four volunteers 
stand read}^, armed and equipped with a similar 
pathological condition. But we want but one, 
and how shall we learn which one? We must be 
more exact, and discover that our patient has 
restlessness, dry heat and much thirst. Our 
v^olunteers are now reduced to three; but still too 
many. Applying our magnifying-giass again, 
we observe a recent exposure to cold, dr}^ wind, 
and a flushed face becoming pale, with faintness 
on rising, and now we have the man we want. 

It becomes evident, therefore, that the in- 
dividualizing symptoms possess the greater value, 
and are, indeed, indispensable to a certain selec- 
tion. 

It should be noticed, further, that these dis- 
tinguishing symptoms are of all kinds and quali- 
ties, from the most purely objective and patho- 
logical, to the most subjective and delicate com- 
plaints which the organism is capable of uttering. 
As instances of the former may be cited, the 
green frothy stools of Magn. c, the dark acid 
urine of Benz. ac. , the blue varices of Mur. ac. , 
and of the latter, the aggravation from hearing 
water run, of Hydroph., from sudden depressing 
emotions, of Gels. , and the relief, from cold food 
and drink, of Phos. 

But whatever the character of these symptoms, 
in this particular, it is to be observed that they 



INTRODUCTION. I9 

are hardly ever obstrusive enough to thrust them- 
selves upon the notice of an unobserving man, 
and that they often require a patience and acute- 
ness of observation hardly excelled by astrono- 
mers, microscopists and other followers of natural 
science. 

This mode of diagnosing the remedy is also in 
exact accordance with that pursued in other 
sciences. The chemist would be thought hardly 
worthy of his title who should attempt to recog- 
nize Arseiiic by its cruder properties of color, 
weight, or taste. He must be familiar with its 
most delicate and characteristic tests and reactions. 
He does not ignore the other properties, yet it is 
only after applying the characteristic tests that he 
will give an authoritative decision, and on these 
he will rely, even in cases involving weighty 
questions of human guilt or innocence. 

But now the question arises, and it is a very 
important and practical one : suppose we find that 
the only remedy for a given case, that corre- 
sponds to the peculiar and individualizing symp- 
toms, is one that has never been known to cause 
the pathological state under which our patient 
suffers. The answer is, that we may safely infer 
that the remedy does possess also the general and 
organic symptoms of the case, and that it will 
remove them, together with the distinguishing 
indications. 

Thus has our Materia Medica been enriched by 
at least one-fourth of the most positive and valu- 



20 INTRODUCTION. 

able pathological symptoms \Yhicli we possess. 
Thus, for example, have we learned that Bry.^ 
Ars., Rhus, Bap., etc., have ulceration of Peyer's 
glands in their pathogenesis; that Hep., Lack, 
and Lye. produce pseudo-membraneous exuda- 
tion; that Spong. causes and cures plastic endo- 
carditis; or that (and a fact now published for 
the first time and obtained purely b}' observing 
the characteristic symptoms) Puis, and Sep. are 
knowm to cause and cure trachoma or granular 
conjunctivitis. 

Yet some affect to sneer at this method, and 
only a little time ago the author had the honor to 
acquire an enviable title,* because he had ob- 
served the power of Podoph. to cure true pneu- 
monia when selected b}^ some characteristic symp- 
toms, although it has never been known to pro- 
duce that condition. 

Yet here, too, we are following closely the 
example of the chemist, w^ho from the 3'ellow 
band in the spectrum is able to assert that there 
is sodium in the sun, or from the lines in the 
spectrum of the Diirkheim spring-w^ater is able to 
declare that a new metal is there. He does not 
hesitate to attribute form, w^eight, malleability 
and other metallic properties to the stranger, 
long before he is able to possess himself of a little 
bar of Indium. 

Our conclusion, then, is, that the problem of 
selection is solved by seeking the remedy which 

^" Podophyllum Beh." 



INTRODUCTION. 21 

possesses the physical and diagnostic symptoms 
of the case, and which corresponds also to the 
special, distinguishing and peculiar symptoms 
which mark the individual case. And further, if 
a remedy is found that possesses distinctly the 
latter symptoms, but not, so far as is known, the 
former, we may conclude safely that it does 
possess the former, and administer it with con- 
fidence. 

THE ADMmiSTRATION OF THE REMEDY. 

In the present state of our science upon this 
point, each can only contribute the fruits of his 
own observation. 

The writer began the practice of medicine with 
the preconceived idea strongly fixed in his mind, 
that, while the thirtieth potency might be useful 
and perhaps the best for chronic and nervous 
affections, the lower and even crude preparations 
would prove more satisfactory for acute affections 
and particularly for diseases of the bowels. 

Hard experience has taught him the contrary, 
and "though convinced against his will," he is 
not ' ' of the same opinion still. ' ' 

There is indeed a somewhat prevalent opinion, 
that the strength of the dose makes up for want 
of due care or knowledge in selection. 

This may be stated in mathematical terms as 
follows: If the thirtieth potency of ^r^-. is equal 
to a complete knowledge of the drug, one-fifth of 
a grain of Arsenious acid is equal to complete 



22 INTRODUCTION. 

ignorance of it. Stated in this, its true form, we 
grant it. 

Personally, our experience has been most satis- 
factory with the use of the twelfth, fifteenth, 
thirtieth, two hundredth, and often higher poten- 
cies, of our remedies, administered in water, and 
repeated every one to six hours according to the 
urgency of the symptoms, and suspended as soon 
as decided improvement appeared. If the same 
remedy was needed to be resumed again, it has 
seemed to do better in a higher potency, but on 
this point we cannot j^et speak with entire assur- 
ance. 

We have not been able to perceive that age or 
sex or habits (we might add color, race or order 
in natural history) form any element in the choice 
of the dose. All classes have been found to re- 
spond favorably to the high potencies. As re- 
gards temperament, we cannot speak with equal 
positiveness, but we have no certain testimony 
proving it to form an exception.

offensive; Painful (liquid stools) ; Exhausting. 

Aggravation: In the morning: In phthisical 
subjects: In typhoid: In ascites. 

Accompaniments: Intense thirst, and water

sensitive to the touch. Abdomen very hot. Vio- 
lent pains (cutting) in the abdomen. Cohc, of 
infants, which no position reheves (with bilious 
stool). Rheumatic pains in head, nape of neck 
and shoulders. Urine high-colored, scanty and

Aeon, is especially useful in the very beginning 
of acute diseases of the bowels, and is then often 
able to cut short dysentery and even cholera 
morbus without any other remedy. It is also a 
valuable intercurrent in dysentery, when Merc, 
cor., although indicated, fails to relieve. It 
closely resembles Duic. and is followed well by that 
drug, also by Bell. 

Abuse of Aeon, calls for Sulph. 

^3. JESCUtUS MIPPOCASTANUM.

ting about navel: Sudden urging: Passing of 
flatus. 



26 THE REMEDIES AND 

During Stool : Severe lu?nbar and saa^al pains : 
Weakness: Tenesmus: Unpleasant sensation in 
rectum and anus: Fetid flatus.

rhoidal troubles, associated with the severe 
lumbar and sacral pains characteristic of this 
remedy.

Aloe is one of our most valuable remedies for 
both diarrhoea and d3^sentery. It is undoubtedly 
a deeply acting antipsoric and of great value in 



32 THE REMEDIES AND 

chronic diarrhoea. The symptoms are marked 
and unmistakable, as given above. Contrar}' to 
what might be expected, the pecuHar gurgling in 
the abdomen is often found with the dysenteric 
stool, when Aloe is indicated. The good appetite 
is most frequently met with in children. The 
haemorrhoids differ from those of Brom. in the 
relief from cold water, and from those of Muriatic 
acid, which are relieved by warm water and 
greath^ aggravated by cold water locally applied. 
It has many sj^mptoms like Sulphur and is nearly 
as important a remedy. 

7. AI.UMi:VA. 

Stools: Thin fecal; Black, bloody; Green, 
watery; Corrosive; Expulsion difficult. 

Aggravation: After constipation: After din- 
ner: After lead-poisoning: During t^^phoid fever:

tion in oesophagus when swallowing: Capricious 
appetite. Aversion to meat. Desire for chalk, 
starch, clean white rags, charcoal, cloves, 
acids, ground coffee, tea-grounds, dirt, dry 
rice, and other unnatural and indigestible 
substances. Faintness at the stomach, relieved 
by satisfying the depraved cravings. Always 
worse after eating potatoes. Palpitation of heart 
with large and small beats intermingled. Violent 
colic. Urine can only be passed with the stool, 
or must stand up to urinate and then sit down to 
defecate. Sensation of weakness of sphincter ani. 
General debility. Chlorosis. Great dryness of all 
the mucous membranes. Dryness and harshness 
of skin with absence of perspiration. 

Alum, is sometimes useful in acute diarrhoea 
and, possibly, dysentery, when the difficult ex- 
pulsion of stool and urine exists. It is more fre- 
quently indicated in chronic diarrhcea accompany- 
ing chlorosis in slender delicate girls, with the 
depraved appetite and the aggravation on altern- 
ate days. With these symptoms, a brilliant cure 
may be expected, including the chlorosis, if the 
remedy be not given too low and too frequently.

THKIR INDICATIONS. 35 

Amm. m. is especially adapted to fat, sluggish 
people, with adipose tissue well developed on the 
trunk, while the legs are disproportionately 
small. It is useful for chronic diarrhoea occur- 
ring during the menses, when the other symp- 
toms correspond. Many of the symptoms re- 
semble those of Aloe but are milder. The green 
mucous stool may render it useful in infantile 
diarrhoea, but experience with it in this affection 
is yet wanting. 

9. AXOUSTURA, 

Stools: Mucous; Yellow; Whitish; Slimy; 
Copious (thin stools).

tions tasting of food. Cutting in abdomen. Desire 
for acids. Frequent and profuse urine, with 
reddish sediment. Constant secretion of a yel- 
lowish-white mucus at the anus. 

The gastric symptoms of Antimon. crud. pre- 
dominate. The vomiting differs from that of 
Aeon., Ars., Verat., and other remedies, in the 
absence of severe thirst and in the white-coated 
tongue. From want of attention to these dis- 
tinctions, this remedy is often overlooked, when 
it would bring speedy relief. 

11. Al^TIMONIUM TARTARICUM. 

Stools: lyight, brownish-yellow, fecal; Watery; 
Mucous; Bloody; Green, slimy, mucous; Fre- 
quent; Profuse; Thin, bilious; lyiquid, greenish;

scanty or bloody discharge. 

Palpitation of the heart. Much yawning and 
stretching. Drowsiness. Somnolency. Jerking 
up of the limbs during sleep. Great prostration, 
cold sweat and thready pulse. 

Although not of frequent use in diarrhoea, 
Tartar emet. will repay careful study. Veratrum 
has doubtless been given many times where the 
choice should have fallen on this remedy, as the 
colic, desires and vomiting are quite similar. 

Tartar emet., however, has more drowsiness and 

'itching of the muscles than Verat. 

12. APIS MEIililFICA.

tration. Emaciation. Indescribable feeling of 
weakness. Anasarca. Ascites. 

In infantile diarrhoea and cholera infantum 
Apis is one of our most precious remedies, cor- 
responding to a low and dangerous condition. 
The absence of thirst, existing with a dr}^ tongue 
and dr>" hot skin, is sufficiently striking to pre- 
vent confounding it with other remedies with 
similar stools. Still more characteristic is the 
bruised soreness of the abdominal walls. This 
is alwa^'S present. Even when hydrocephaloid 
ensues, and the previously distended abdomen 
becomes sunken and flabby, there is still the 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 4 1 

same intolerance of the slightest pressure. When 
oedema is present it will be most frequently found 
in the feet and genitals.

Sudden and severe attacks of cholera infantum, 
with the characteristic stools, in children who are 
very fond of sugar, and who have eaten too much 
of it, will find their remedy in Argent, nit. 

This drug is also likely to prove useful in ad-

There is reason to fear that, as routine is easier 
than study, Arsenicum may have accomplished 
more harm than good in the hands of homoe- 
opathic practitioners. No remedy has been more 
frequently given in acute affections of the bowels, 
while it is not the most frequently indicated, and 
it is not a remedy to be unwisely used. The 
symptoms which most clearly distinguish it from 
other remedies with a similar totality are the 
characteristic thirst and restlessness. These two 
must be present as a general rule. The mucous 
stools are not usually offensive; the watery ones are 
very much so, and often painless.

chiefly applicable to diarrhoea occuring in scrofu- 
lous children and hysterical women. The ex- 
tremely offensive stool and generally reversed 
peristalsis are the leading indications for its use. 
The general nightly aggravation is important.

mucus, of resinous appearance; Scanty, yellow, 
stringy mucous; In a long, twisted string; Odor- 
less; Ascarides pass with the stool; Yellowish-

ling in the abdomen. 

Scanty vomiting of greenish, sour liquid. Loss 
of appetite or loathing of food. Constantly chilly. 
Hands, feet, knees or abdomen cold, even in a 
hot room, or when warmly covered. 

The relief from cold bathing and damp w^eather

18. ASCIiEPIAS TTJBEROSA. 

Stools: Watery; Black, with 3'ellow spots like 
fat swimming in them; Yellow; Green; Jelly-

THEIR INDICATIONS. 5 1 

The symptoms of Asclepias are well-marked 
and peculiar, but, as yet, lack clinical verification. 

19. :baptisia timctohia.

mucous; Small; Frequent; Dark, thin fecal ; Pa- 
pescent, yellowish; Watery; Dark brown mucous

52 THE RKMEDIKS AND 

can take nothmg but liquids; the slighest amount 
of solid food causes gagging. Pain in the region 
of the liver and particularly of the gall-bladder; 
worse on walking. Pain and soreness in bowels. 
Urine and perspiration extremely offensive. Breath 
fetid. Fever slight, pulse soft and full. Sleep- 
lessness, or sleep with heavy, tiresome dreams. 
Bruised^ so7'e feeling of the whole body, causing 
restlessness. Prostration more pi'ofound than the 
severity of the attack would seem to justify. 

Extended clinical observation has proved the 
value of Bapt. in both diarrhoea and dysentery, 
when assuming the typhoid type. The tenesmus,, 
with absence of pain and the characteristic tongue 
and mental symptoms, render its selection easy 
and certain. 

30. BARYTA CARBOXICA. 

Stools: Papescent; Watery; Undigested; Yel-

rhoeic stools. Pains in small of back. Swelling 
of cervical glands and tonsils. Rheumatic stiff- 
ness and aching of the whole body, in damp 
weather. Child is slow in learning to walk. 

Baryta carb. will occasionally prove useful in 
the diarrhoea of scrofulous children. The con- 
comitant symptoms and the appearance of the 
child are more characteristic than the stool.

Stools: Thin^ green mucous; Bloody mucous; 
Granular, yellow, slimy mucous; White mucous;

The pains appear and disappear suddenly. 

Belladonna will be found suitable for children 
more frequently than adults. It is often the only 
remedy required for severe cases of infantile dys- 
entery. The drowsiness, with startings, dry heat 
and frequent drinking, may be regarded as char- 
acteristic, if the other symptoms of the patient 
correspond. 

S3. BENZOIC ACII>. 

Stools: Watery, white, or light-colored; lyike 
dirty soap-suds; Copious; Very offensive ; Frothy

56 THK REMKDIEJS AND 

Accompaniments: Urine very strong smell- 
ing ; usually dark. Scanty. Much exhaustion. 
Weakness. Perspiration. Cold sweat on the 
head. Sweats while eating. 

The symptoms of Benz. ac. are not many, but 
they are genuine jewels. The offensive stools 
are not like those of any other remedy. The 
smell is strong, pungent, urinous, somewhat like 
that of the characteristic urine, which is also 
almost invariably present. 

23. BISHUTHUM. 

Stools: Papescent; Watery; Cadaverous-smell- 
ing; Painless.

water only ; food is retained. 

Heaviness, pressure and burning in the pit of 
the stomach. 

Abdomen distended with flatulence. 

Great prostration, but the surface is warm. 

The value of Bismuth, in cholera infantum has 
not been fully appreciated. The excessive pros- 
tration, without coldness of the surface, will

readily distinguish it from other remedies. In 
thickly coated white tongue and gastric symp- 
toms it resembles Antimon. crud. 

34. BOL.ETtJS I.ARICIS.

Stools: Yellow, watery; Frothy; Papescent; 
Mixed with bile and frothy mucus or with oily-

Restless after midnight. Very weak and languid. 
Chilliness along the spine, followed by hot flashes 
and sweat. Skin hot and dr}^, especially the 
palms of the hands. Jaundice. 

The value of Boletus must be determined by 
the crucial test of clinical experience. In many 
of the symptoms it closely resembles Leptandra. 

25. BORAX. 

Stools: Light yellow, sli^ny 7nucous; Green 
mucous; Frequent; Yellow watery; Colorless; 
Fermented; Thin, brown, frothy, containing 
small pieces of yellow faeces; Offensive^ smelling

throwing the hands about, seizing things or cling- 
ing to the mother. The legs jerk when falling 
asleep. 

Palms hot. Emaciation ; flesh relaxed. Skin 
pale or livid. Debility. Sopor. 

Belladonna has, doubtless, been often given 
when Borax should have been. The anxious feel- 
ing on downward motion is the chief distinction 
between them, and is peculiar to Borax. 

26. BOVISTA. 

Stools: I^iquid, yellow, fecal; First part hard, 
last part thin and watery. 

Aggravation: Early in the morning: In the 
evening: At night: Before the menses: During

Bo vista is chiefly useful for diarrhoea, occurring 
before and during menstruation. The menses 
are either too early or too late, and the flow is 
profuse, dark and clotted, occurring mostly at 
night or early in the morning. 

27. BROMIXE. 

Stools: Black fecal; Light yellow, slimy mu- 
cous; Painless, odorless^ like scrapings of the in- 
testines; Yellow, green or blackish.

and debilit}^ 

One or two cases of Bromine diarrhoea, in its 
characteristic totality, are as many as can be ex- 
pected to fall to one physician during a lifetime. 
Should the aggravation after oysters, however, 
become more fully confirmed, it will need to be 
used more frequently.

iting of bitter substances, of yellow-green mucus. 
Pain in the bowels after eating or drinking. 
Urine dark red and clear. 

Deswe to lie down and remain quiet. 

Bryonia has not been one of the routine rem- 
edies for loose discharges from the bowels, nor is 
it desirable that it should become so, or that that 
list should be enlarged. It is, however, quite 
often indicated, and, if administered according to 
the above symptoms, will not fail to repay the 
careful chooser. 

39. CAI.CAREA CAKBO^ICA.

Debility. Profuse sweat on the head when 
sleeping, especially on the back of the head, wet- 
ting the pillow. Knees clammy. Feet constantly 
cold and damp. 

In selecting Calcarea c, the stool is of less im- 
portance than the person and the concomitant 
symptoms. These often render it the indispensa- 
ble remedy in psoric individuals. The smell of 
the urine cannot be described, but once smelled 
it is never forgotten. The color will distinguish 
it from that of Benz. ac. It is said to be suitable 
when persistent tenesmus remains after dysentery 
in children.

Calc. phos. is one of our most valuable remedies 
for the diarrhoea of scrofulous and rachitic chil- 
dren. It can easily be distinguished from Calc. c, 
Silic, and Snl. by the concomitant symptoms. 
When given in season it will often prevent maras- 
mus, and is the first remedy to be thought of in 
threatened hydrocephaloid, after the failure of 
China to arrest the disease.

Capsicum is one of the royal remedies for dys- 
entery; resembling Canth. much in its symptoms, 
but differing equally as much, as a comparison 
will show. When the choice becomes difficult, 
the drinking after stool causing shuddering, and 
the drawing pains in the back after stool, will fix 
the decision on Caps., and distinguish it also from 
Merc. cor. and Nux vom. The patient is also 
sometimes ''lazy, fat, unclean, dreads the open 
air. ' '

Except in cholera, Carbo veg. is rarely indi- 
cated in the beginning of any acute disease of the 
bowels; but in the later stages it may become the 
only remedy capable of producing a favorable 
change. It will not often be required in cases 
that have had good homoeopathic treatment, but 
much more frequently in those coming from allo- 
pathic hands. After it are frequently suitable 
Ars., China, Merc, sol., or Psor. It is also useful 
for the debility following a long lasting attack of 
diarrhoea. 

35. CARBOIilC ACID. 

Stools: Fetid; Rice-water, offensive like rotten 
eggs; lyike thick glue, in thin strips like tape;

Stools: Green slimy mucous; Mixed green and 
white vzucous; Chopped white and yellow mucous;

alternatel}^ : Grasping with the hands: Mouth

Novices often fail with Chamomilla. It is 
not adapted to every case of diarrhoea dur- 
ing dentition. The mental symptoms are 
of chief importance (compare Cina), but the 
desire to be carried about is not alone decisive. 
If, however, the other symptoms correspond, par- 
ticularly of the stool, this symptom will make 
the choice more certain. Cham, is not often indi- 
cated in cases of long continuance, and is often 
unable to complete the cure alone, requiring to be 
followed by Merc. sol. or Sulph.

The Chelidonium combination of symptoms is 
not very common. Clinical experience with it is 
therefore meagre. The desire for hot drinks is 
very peculiar, and may prove characteristic.

superficial breathing; chin, nose and tips of the 
ears cold {impending hy drocep haloid^ . 

During Convalescence: Much weakness and 
debilit}' , with pale face, ringing in the ears and 
tendency to dropsical swelling. 

China has a very strong resemblance to Carbo 
veg. The character of the stool will usually 
serve to distinguish them, together with the fact 
that with the former the stools are often entirely 
in the night, being absent during the day, even 
in severe cases, unless they occur after meals, 
w^hich is also an additional distinction. When 
well selected Chin, usuall}^ completes the cure. 
In threatened h3^drocephaloid, however, it is 
often necessary to follow with Calc. phos. 

40. CICTJTA VmOSA. 

Stool: Thin, slimy; Black offensive; Fre- 
quent, liquid; Expelled suddenly. 

Aggravation: At 2 and 5 a. m. : By pressure

spasms of the pectoral muscles. Congestion of 
blood to the brain or chest after vomiting ceases. 
Violent jerking backward of the head. Staring 
or upturned eyes. Heavy breathing. Sopor. 
Convulsions. 

Cieuta is reported to have been used success- 
fully in cholera, but clinical experience with it in 
diarrhoea is very meagre. The early morning 
stool, with its peculiar concomitants, the distended 
abdomen, and the longing for charcoal, seem to 
furnish characteristic indications.

changing position, waking with cries. Will not 
sleep without rocking. Grinding of the teeth 
during sleep. Worm spasms: the child stiffens 
out straight. 

The accompanying symptoms, particularly 
those italicized, will more frequently indicate Cina 
than the character of the stools, and will render 
the choice easy. The characteristic urine is the 
surest indication.

smaller and less gushing; in the time of aggrava- 
tion, and the presence of the nausea and vomiting. 

In dysentery the jelly-like and skinny stools 
are quite characteristic, particularly the latter.

In many of its symptoms Cyclamen is almost 
identical with Puis., but may be distinguished 
from the latter by the character of the stool, the

Diosc. has a much narrower range thar Coloc, 
but, as in the latter, the colic is the principal in- 
dication. It is easily distinguished from the colic 
of any other remedy by the above S3^mptoms. 
The disposition to felons may be found with the

Dulc. is seldom required except in cases directly 
traceable to taking cold or to a change in the 
weather from warm to cold; but then it becomes 
the indispensable and often all-sufficient remedy, 
whether the attack is diarrhoea or dysentery. It 
is rarely useful if the attack is painless. In many 
symptoms it resembles Aeon, and Arsen.

Ferrum is sometimes required in cases of chronic 
diarrhoea, in both adults and children, with the 
above symptoms. Were it not for its excessive 
abuse by the allopathists, from whom such cases 
mostly come, it would be more frequently useful. 
It must also be remembered in cholera and choler- 
ine; especially when the slightest attempt at eat- 
ing, drinking or moving brings on a stool.

Gambogia is one of the most important remedies 
in the treatment of diarrhoea,' both acute and 
chronic, and has also a place in the therapeutics 
of infantile diarrhoea and of dysentery. It closely 
resembles Aloe. It may be distinguished, how- 
ever, by the absence of haemorrhoids, by the 
rapid expulsion of stool, and by the immediate 
accompanying symptoms of the stool as italicized 
above. When well selected, Gambogia usually 
gives a prompt and permanent cure, without 
subsequent aid from other remedies.

of an}' unusual ordeal — as appearing in public, 
undergoing an examination, submitting to a sur-

Graph, occupies a subordinate position in the 
treatment of diarrhoea, but the emphasized symp- 
toms describe a condition sometimes met with, 
and often chronic, where it proves curative. It 
is especially adapted to fat, flabby persons, who 
suffer from constant chilliness, and are subject to 
eczematous and herpetic eruptions, which crack 
and ooze a glutinous fluid. These are apt to 
occur behind the ears or in the bends of the joints, 
and are associated with marked absence of per- 
spiration.

THKIR INDICATIONS. I 1 1 

Cold feeliiig in the abdomeji. Severe cramps in 
abdomen, extending over the whole body. 

There is reason to beheve that Gratiola will 
prove particularly serviceable in cases of cholera 
morbus resulting from drinking excessive quanti- 
ties of water of moderate coolness; the quantity, 
and not the coldness, being the cause.

smells sour. Swollen glands. 

Desire to be covered even in a warm room. 

Over- sensitiveness to pain. 

Hepar sul. occupies a leading position in the 
therapeutics of chronic diarrhoea. The cases 
calling for it are among the most common. They 
come often from allopathic treatment, having 
abuse of mercury or cinchona, and often suppres- 
sion of scabies in their history. So many of the 
characteristic symptoms are referred to the 
stomach, that the cases might be classed under 
dyspepsia. It most resembles Lycop. The time 
of aggravation is the most constant distinction. 
A comfortable feeling after eating is very char- 
acteristic.

Though published over thirty-four years ago, 
this remedy remains a stranger to most of us. 
The symptoms are not at all equivocal, and 
it may well be placed among our reserve forces.

titles of tough saliva in the mouth, with constant 
spitting. 

Hydroph. adds an interesting and well-con- 
firmed symptom to our repertory, in the aggrava- 
tion, which, with the other symptoms, makes it 
applicable in dysentery. Those who have scruples 
about using a remedy of this character are at 
liberty to cure cases having this distinctive con- 
dition with some other remedy if they can. 

It has been found useful in chronic cramp 
diarrhoea.

certain. This remedy is seldom suited to cases 
of long continuance, and is often unable to com-

occurring in the hottest of the season. It is said 
to have been used successfully in cholera, with 
icy-cold tongue and general coldness of the sur- 
face.

Those who have used Jatropha in the treat- 
ment of cholera have confirmed the above symp- 
toms, and they are such as give it a prominent 
place in the treatment of the first stage of that 
disease, before the period of collapse. The albu- 
minous vomiting is very characteristic. This and 
the other symptoms are also sometimes met with 
in cholera morbus. 

In some respects it resembles Ipec, but may be 
distinguished from the latter remedy by the burn- 
ing thirst and violent cramps.

of cases, but chiefly in dysentery, with the 
characteristic tongue and gelatinous stools. 
Sometimes, however, with those stools the tongue 
has nothing peculiar. The morning aggravation

will then decide the choice. After Canth. has re- 
moved stools like scrapings, jelly-like stools will

morning diarrhoea and chronic clay-colored diar- 
rhoea.

Although not one of the most frequently indi- 
cated remedies, Kreos. occupies an important 
place in our therapia. The symptoms of the teeth 
and gums are especially characteristic. It is 
followed well by Sulphur. After Carbo veg. it 
disagrees.

The rattling of drink as it rolls down the oesopha- 
gus is the most characteristic symptom, and one 
of evil omen. In these cases, the other symp- 
toms corresponding, this remedy will save many 
otherwise fatal cases. The same remark applies 
also to cholera and cholera morbus.

Lycop. is one of the noblest monuments to the 



138 THE REMEDIES AND 

genius of Hahnemann, as well as one of the most 
convincing proofs of the homoeopathic doctrines. 
This innocent substance is developed by potentiz- 
ing into one of our most valuable remedies for 
chronic diarrhoea, as met with in weak, chlorotic, 
dyspeptic and debilitated persons. The charac- 
teristic symptoms are marked, and need no com- 
ment. The symptoms of the stool are subordinate. 
The '' chilliness in the rectum," before stool, is a 
singular but genuine symptom, which further ob- 
servation may prove to be characteristic. It 
should be thought of in cholera infantum, with 
brain symptoms. 

Before Lye. is frequently needed some other, 
not antipsoric remedy (often Nux. vom ). 

89. MAOXESIA CARBOXICA.

of the abdomen, with rumbling, and cutting and 
pinching colic. Sour smell of the whole body. 

Debility. 

Much of the ground which should have been 
occupied by Magn. carb. has heretofore been given 
to Cole, and Merc. A better acquaintance with 
the former will prevent this in the future. It is a 
remedy of the first order in dysentery and infantile 
diarrhoea. The stools are highlj^ characteristic. 
The bloody mucus is found mixed with the green, 
watery stool, sinking to the bottom of the vessel 
and adhering there; but the watery stool occurs 
alone. 

It follows Rheum well, and is often required 
after that remedy to complete the cure,

retained or suppressed. 

Stitches in the side. Cramps in the calves. 

Limbs feel bruised. Trembling of the limbs. 

Faintness, weak7iess and shuddering . 

In the absence of any provings except poison- 
ings, the finer shades of Merc. corr. are not 
known. One thing is certain, however, that it is 
too frequently employed in dysentery, to which it 
is only applicable when occurring in great in- 
tensity and accompanied by the characteristic 
urinary symptoms, as given above. It follows 
Aeon. well.

Few remedies require more careful selection 
than Merc. Its symptoms, though marked and 
decided, differ more from other remedies in in- 
tensity than in quality, and it requires an observ- 
ing experience to measure this difference. It 
differs negatively, however, from many other 
similar remedies, wanting characteristics which 
they possess. In psoric infants the choice has 
often to be made between Calc, Sil. and Merc, 
and must be made with care, as a mistake is not 
easily rectified. 

SiL and Merc, do not follow each other well.

In cases of chronic diarrhoea, with a psoric 
anamnesis, Mez. will sometimes prove to be the

times is needed after Bellad.

Pulse weak and slow, mterniiiting every third 
beat. Muscular weakness after abuse of narcotics, 
soothing syrups, etc. 

To delineate Mur. ac. further would be to give 
its full indications in typhoid fever, of which the 
diarrhoea is only an accompanying symptom. It 
is also highly applicable to diarrhoea with pro- 
trusion of blue or dark purple haemorrhoids, 
especially when occurring in feeble children, suf- 
fering from gastric atony, muscular debility and 
threatened marasmus. It follows well after Rhus., 
or Bry.

colic soon after eating. Stitches in the left hypo- 
chondrium, worse after drinking very cold water. 
Weak ankles. 

Natr. carb. is rarely indicated in the treatment 
of diarrhoea, but as one of the remedies having 
an aggravation from milk, it may sometimes be 
required in chronic cases. The stomach symp- 
toms should also correspond.

glands. General emaciation, most conspicuous 
about the neck, which is very thin and shrunken. 

Natrum mur. is chiefly useful for chronic diar- 
rhoea of children, but also of older people. 

The emaciation of the neck, the greasy appear- 
ance of the face and the peculiar desires and 
aversions furnish the leading indications.

around the roots of the nails. The pain is better 
out of doors. 

Natr. sulph. is one of the most frequently in- 
dicated remedies in cases of chronic diarrhoea, 
where the loose morning stool is the leading 
symptom. The flatulent symptoms are very 
characteristic, but not necessarily present. 

The tendency to "run rounds," or painful 
suppurations around the finger-nails, is often 
present, and is a strong confirmatory indication. 
The morning stool differs from that of Sulph. in 
occurring later and after rising.

This remedy resembles several others in the 
aggravation after milk, but differs from them all 
in other symptoms. We have had no clinical 
experience with it as yet.

Accompaniments : Irritability or despondency. 
Anxiety about the disease. Vanishing of thought. 
Dulness of the head. Headache, aggravated by 
the jar and rat le of carriages on the street. 
Pale, yellowish complexion. Ulcers in the mouth 
and fauces. Ulcers and blisters on the lips. 
Scorbutic gums. Dryness of the throat. Copi-

a strong smell, or sourish smell, like the urine of 
horses. Cold feet (with colic). 

Night-sweat. Debility. Intermittent pulse. 

Emaciation, especially of the upper arms and 
thighs. Enlargement of the glands. 

According to the published symptoms, Nitr. ac. 
resembles Alumina, but those symptoms are not 
confirmed by clinical observation. The appetite 
for chalk, lime and similar substances obstinately 
refuses to yield to this remedy, and we are glad 
to notice that this symptom is not found in 
Hahnemann's proving. As one of the remedies 
having green mucous stools, it should be studied 
in infantile diarrhoea, particularly after abuse of 
mercury, or in children of s^^philitic parents. It

tery, with the characteristic stools and immediate 
accompaniments. In slow fevers, with alternat- 
ing constipation and diarrhoea, and in chlorosis, 
as well as jaundice, it holds an important place. 
In the latter affections the general symptoms, 
more than the stools, decide for this remed3\ 

Nux must not be overlooked in the treatment of 
diarrhoea because more often used for constipation.

Although Paullinia has been before the pro- 
fession over twenty years, since its introduction 
by the Vienna provers, the concomitants are still 
almost unknown. The peculiar stool, however, 
has often been verified in practice and must 
always furnish the leading indication for the use 
of this remedy in infantile diarrhoea.

The most striking symptom of Petr. is the last 
one mentioned above, and one that often indicates 
this remedy in delirious states accompanying 
diarrhoea (or other affections). If unable to 
complete the cure, it will produce a favorable 
change and prepare the way for some other 
remedy.

The stools of Phos. are hardly characteristic 
unless the little grains of tallow (they resemble 
more opaque frog spawn, or sago, as I have seen 
them) should prove to be so. The condition and 
accompaniments are, however, very peculiar, and 
are also constant. They will always be present 
in more or less completeness when this remedy is 
indicated, and will render a brilliant cure almost 
certain if the remedy is given in a proper dose, 
and is not repeated after the improvement has 
fully begun. 

The symptoms of Phos. are most frequently 
met with in chronic cases. It is often well to give 
a single dose of a high potency of Nux vom. a

THEIR INDICATIONS. 1 65 

Phos. ac. is one of the most prominent remedies 
for white or yellow watery diarrhoea, either 
chronic or acute. It is characterized by painless-

Chilliness followed by clammy sweat. Great feeling 
of fatigue. 

Picric acid presents a perfect picture of ' ' brain- 
fag," and although not well defined as a remedy 
for acute diseases of the bowels, ought to prove 
serviceable in diarrhoea occurring in persons ex- 
hausted by mental overwork.

(with painless watery stools), with yawning and

There is no remedy so surely indicated by 
painless cholera morbus as Podoph. The stools 
are profuse and gushing, each seeming to drain 
the patient dry, but soon he is full again. There 
may also be violent cramps. It would seem that 
it must prove to be similar to many cases of 
cholera, but clinical experience in this direction 
is still wanting. We hope that some of our col- 
leagues, who have the opportunity, will test it in 
this fearful scourge. In diarrhoeas of infants it 
ranks also among the first to be referred to. It 
resembles Calc. c. and Phos. ac, yet can easily 
be distinguished from the former by careful at- 
tention to the concomitant symptoms, and from 
the latter by the more rapid debility and exhaus- 
tion.

Sick babies will not sleep day or night, but 
worry, fret and cry. 

Although the dark fluid stool is very character- 
istic of Psor., the very offensive odor is much 
more so. This alone often indicates it in infantile 
diarrhoea, or in cholera infantum, whatever may 
be the stool; and it will usually produce a favor- 
able change at once, and often complete the cure. 
It is also valuable as an intercurrent, when well- 
chosen remedies fail to relieve, here rivaling 
Sulph. Whether derived from purest gold or

garded as the most characteristic symptom of 
Rheum. It is not one of the most frequently 
indicated remedies, and still less so on account 
of its constant abuse allopathically.

The stools of Rhus tox. are quite characteristic, 
and many of the conditions and accompaniments 
are very much so. It is frequently applicable in 
dj^senterj^, mostly after other remedies, and in a 
late stage, when the disease shows a tendency to 
assume a typhoid type. The craving for cold 
milk and the laborious dreams of excessive bodily 
exertion, as running, w^ading in the snow, hurry- 
ing, and the like, are more characteristic of this 
remedy than of any other. It has been observed 
that Rhus tox. and Apis m. do not follow each 
other well.

The stools of Sam"b. present no special indica- 
tions; but the dry heat during sleep, breaking out 
into sweat on awaking, and the absence of thirst, 
are very characteristic; and when these concomi- 
tants are present, Samb. will quickly remove the 
whole train of morbid phenomena.

necessary in order to distinguish Scilla from 
Psorinum. The stools are very similar, but those 
of Scilla are frothy, and there is an absence of 
the debility which usually accompanies the stools 
of the other remedy. It is also useful after 
Bryonia.

dies that have, otherwise, similar symptoms, es- 
pecially Arsen., which has desire for heat and 
covering. It may be distinguished from Camph. 
by the violent thirst, and also by paying attention 
to the fact that the cold spells of the latter rem- 
edy often occur at night, passing off in the morn^ 
ing. The choleraic stool is not offensive, except,

Sepia fills an important place in the treatment 
of infantile diarrhoea. The aggravation from 
boiled milk, and the rapid exhaustion, are dis- 
tinguishing symptoms. It is' also applicable in 
chronic, debilitating diarrhoea.

Silic. is one of our most powerful and deep-act- 
ing remedies, producing radical changes in the 
whole constitution, and overcoming fundamental 
psoric derangements. This renders it often in- 
dispensable in infantile diarrhoea and cholera in- 
fantum. It most resembles Calc.c. The charac- 
teristic perspiration on the head differs from that 
of the latter remedy in being more general over the 
whole head and forehead, and in the sour, offen-

becomes warm if "lightlj^ covered, which is a very

13 



194 I'HE REMEDIES AND 

when not distinctively similar, when the appro- 
priate remedies fail to act, or when the improve- 
ment which they produce constantly gives way 
and the patient gets better and worse. The early

turns. 

Accompaniments: Fainting on raising up.

aggravated by eating or drinking. Violent colic, 
causing one to scream with pain. Abdomen very 
sore. 

There has been as yet but little clinical ex- 
perience with Thrombidium, but it has marked 
and distinctive symptoms, which must render it 
a valuable addition to the Materia Medica. 

It may be distinguished from Nux vom. by the 
immediate concomitants of the evacuations; from 
Merc, by the absence of the sweat and the green- 
ish, bloody stool, so characteristic of the latter 
remedy; and from Sulph. by the aggravation 
after eating and drinking. 

137. THUJA OCCIDEXXAMS. 

Stools: Pale yellow, watery; Oily or greasy; 
Bloody ; 

Forcibly expelled; Copious; Gurgling like water 
from a bung-hole. 

Aggravation: In the morning; After break- 
fast: After coffee: xVfter fat food: After onions: 
Periodically returning in the morning, always at 
the same hour: After vaccination. 



THKIR INDICATIONS. 1 99 

Before Stool: Rattling of flatulence. 

During Stool: Passing of much loud flatus. 

After Stool: Debility.

the crown remaining sound. Much thirst or vio- 
lent thirst. Drink falls audibly into the stomach. 
Desire for cold food and drink. Rapid exhaustion^ 
causing oppressed and short breathing: irregular 
and intermittent pulse. Rapid emaciation. 

It will hardly be easy to make a mistake about 
Thuja. No other remedy has the same combina- 
tion of symptoms. Gratiola resembles it more 
than any other, but is easily distinguished by the 
aggravations and accompaniments of Thuja. 
This remedy is applicable to chronic diarrhoea, 
particularly when traceable to vaccination, or to 
gonorrhoeal infection, and should not be forgot- 
ten in cholera morbus, or in cholera infantum. 
In the latter affections it has a close resemblance 
to Laurocerasus. 

138. VAIiERIAJVA. 

Stools: Thin, watery, with lumps of coagu- 
lated milk; Greenish, papescent with blood. 

Aggravation: In children: After abuse of

large quantities of very cold water a?id acid drinks.

sive weakness. Fainting. 

Violent crajnps of the extremities. Wrinkling of 
the skin of the hands and fingers. 

Skin cold, blue, remainiyig infolds when pinched. 

Veratrum is a remedy of great value, and one 
very often r-equired, but like all others it demands 
a careful selection, and is not to be given in every 
case of cholera morbus or of cholera. The most 
characteristic symptoms are the same in both 
cases, only more violent in the latter. The im- 
mediate accompaniments of the stool, with the 
thirst and cravings, distinguish this remedy. 
Verat. is seldom indicated in painless cases.

THEIR INDICATIONS. 203 

motion. Tremulous feeling all over the body.

Zinc, is rarely, if ever, required in the begin- 
ning of either diarrhoea or dysentery, but is often 
useful in later stages, when the cerebral symp- 
toms indicate approaching hydrocephaloid. De- 
ficient nerve power is the great nerve character- 
istic of the remedy, as shown by the convulsions 
occurring with pale face and without any increase 
of temperature. This symptom alone will distin- 
guish Zinc, from Bell, and other allied remedies. 

141. ZIIVGIBER.

After drinking- impure water : After taking a 
chill from a cold, damp wind: After deranging

causing rumbling and rolling in the bowels. 
Nausea. Loss of appetite. 

Haemorrhoidal tumors, hot, and painfully sore, 
whether sitting or lying. Inflammatory redness, 
itching, and burning in and around the anus. 

If the symptoms of Zingiber be further con- 
firmed by clinical observation, it will fill an im- 
portant place in our therapia. The aggravations 
are peculiar, particularly the aggravation from 
drinking impure water.
